bleh, i misread his post.. I thought he meant 1 horizontal scroll bar, similar to the one Internet Browsers employ when a page is too large to be viewed on a certain resolution... kinda like a frame within a frame where you could scroll the window to get extra information/albumpics(in the future hopefully), and what not. I agree with you that the 'individual' bars would look ugly.

@ ginipig1 and foosion:guys...hello? foobar is supposed to be functional, not eye candy! ugly... pfft. sacrifice a few pixels at the bottom for funtionality.

the thought of one horizontal scroll bar never crossed my mind cuz i was thinking about the right aligned columns, but that would be good, too. you could have info that you dont need that often hidden off to the right or left.

Lies. Actually I think that Foobar is very Seksiii. I'm the kind of guy who likes to keep tabs on everything, so Foobar was a plausible solution in terms of Function. My Desktop is nothing more than a Litestep theme, and some quick access buttons. The fonts, colors, layout of Foobar blend in well with my desktop. The synergy of the two can never be replaced by some overly ambitious attempt at pleasing the inner child (read: some bloated skins with all sorts of gizmos.)

The 'ugliness' here comes not only from the strange visual appearance of this solution, it is also fairly non-standard. IMHO, showing tooltips when the mouse hovers over a truncated entry is a better solution.

Just to make it clear: I'm talking about the scroll bar that appears when the total width of all columns is greater than the width of the playlist view - and that one is already there.

yes, please. be great to have right align. any columns you have right aligned should stick to the right no matter the window size. [/quote]You misinterpreted me - i meant text alignment. You can currently use tab char to right align stuff but that wont affect the text alignment in the header.

Anyway, as far as i know the header control dont support what you want. Put the columns you need first and then you can scroll/resize or something to see the rest.

[quote]also, what would be great is if you could specify that a column would be 'unsqueezeable', that is, if you resize other columns, unsqueezable columns would not change size. could make colums unexpandable, too. ie, if you squeeze other column, this column will not expand.

you could also specify certain columns to be the first (2nd, 3rd, etc) one squeezed. maybe specify that a column would be the first to squeez, but only squeeze down to x characters or pixels. and make columns last(2nd, 3rd, etc) to squeez.[/quote]Could be done but I really dont think you would be able to set all these "sqeezable" settings to mimic what you want to happen everytime you resize columns.

[quote]truncate with an ellipsis character ("…") when the text is too big to fit in the column? A nice extra on top of this would be a tooltip [/quote]-Haggis

i like this, too. [/quote]done in alpha 6[quote] what about individual horizontal scroll bars for all (or specified) columns. if x characters are truncated, show horizontal scroll bar.[/quote] wouldnt the logical thing to do be resize the column? anyway, as foosion said it would be a mess and look a mess too.

[quote]oh, could you please post the url for your site? (musicmusic) maybe list it in your profile. thx[/quote]put somewhere in profile

you changed from the right pane of playlists to tabs .. can you make it an option to use either?[/quote]Im not sure what you're asking, if its switch between playlists listbox and tabs you can in prefs, if its put playlists listbox on right side you cant right now.

[quote=kerpondile,Jan 27 2004, 10:15 AM]This is small feature, but is it possible statusbar to update instantly when moving the playing "slider".

hope you understand...[/quote]a buch of updating issues with status bar and window title fixed in alpha 6.

[quote=kalmark,Jan 27 2004, 03:33 PM]I like it, I like it!!!

Suggestions: -Have a separate font setting for the playlist and the column names-Adopt the seekbar from the default UI, or at least make "instant seeking" an option

Keep up the good work! As soon as someone thinks out how to use upNorth's formatting string, or something like that for foo_columns, I'm in' [/quote]

1. will do2. if it could just take it from the default ui i would seekbar fixed up in alpha 6

[quote=ginipig1,Jan 27 2004, 05:32 PM]what do you mean foosion?

Since this dll is still in it's alpha stage, it still has some problems when it comes to resizing. The columns aren't smart enough (yet) to adjust their width automatically. A horizontal scroll bar is a good idea for interim releases.. but once all the bugs are ironed out, it won't be neccessary.[/quote] horizontally scrollable playlist was meant to be a feature

Maybe i could add a scrollbar less mode where columns expand/compress to take up all available space

[quote=Speek,Jan 27 2004, 01:42 PM]And another request: could you make the playlist 3D instead of flat look?[/quote] do you mean the frame/border around the playlist, or something else?

This is getting really cool! Even the default settings look good IMHO (with the right fonts chosen). One thing that I'd like to have is working scrolling with the mouse wheel (no name mouse here ==> no good drivers). Otherwise everything is just great!

1) You can only en/disable "Playback order", "Playback buttons" is linked to the same

2) If you change the column sizes by dragging, this does not change the sizes set in config -> you go into config, and everything gets back to the default (or whatever you set there)

3) Maybe a time_elapsed tooltip for the seekbar would be nice

4) And yes, the default colors should be changed

5) Maybe a different kind of vis... I made a small "stereo" vis, if you're interested, maybe it can be incorporated. I dunno how "vis-in-ui" code works, but I'm sure if I sent you my code it could be easily merged

You misinterpreted me - i meant text alignment. You can currently use tab char to right align stuff but that wont affect the text alignment in the header.

shoot, it really would be nice to right align the columns themselves so when you are resizing things, the right columns dont get pushed off the end.

well, if you could resize columns without messing up your layout(unsqeezable columns, right aligned columns), maybe.

QUOTE

that would be a decent solution if you could specify min/max pixels or % for each column. for example, the length column (which i would want right aligned) would have a min/max of 70 pixels. if all columns resized on window resize or column resize, the length column would allways stay the right size, and would allways stay to the right.

hey i think it would be cool if it could have a part of the window showing stuff likeartistalbumsong titlelyricsbioetcof the current song playing..this would be cool as all of my songs have lyrics tagged in themand presently i'm using the lyrics plugin for foobar.

i choose one of the playlist list with left click,then the choosen one cannot be "switched from the playlist" and "remove from the playlist". but if i choose one playlist from the list directly with right click, i can swtich and erase them.
